In this article, we will discuss What is NEO-Personality Inventory?
Define NEO-Personality Inventory.
This NEO-Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) is based on the five-factor model of personality traits that have been developed by Costa & McCrae. It is used to measure aspects of personality that aren’t linked to psychological disorders. Specifically, it tends to measure the “big five” dimensions of personality, as these dimensions appear to represent basic aspects of personality.
The NEO-PI is a highly-regarded assessment of personality. Based on the Five-Factor model, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) measures the interpersonal, motivational, emotional, and attitudinal styles of adults and adolescents. It consists of 240 personality items and 3 validity items and is available in two forms. Form-S is designed for self-reports and Form-R is written in the third person for observer reports.
The NEO PI-R was designed to provide a general description of normal personality relevant to clinical, counselling and educational situations. NEO PI-R items and materials were designed to be easily read and understood. The five domains (factors) measured by the NEO PI-R provide a general description of personality, while the facet scales allow more detailed analysis. These five factors and their facet scales include:
Neuroticism (Anxiety, Depression, Hostility, Self-Consciousness, Impulsiveness, Vulnerability).
Extraversion (Warmth, Assertiveness, Gregariousness, Activity, Excitement-Seeking, Positive Emotions).
Openness to Experience (Fantasy, Aesthetics, Actions, Feelings, Ideas, Values).
Agreeableness (Trust, Compliance, Modesty, Altruism, Straightforwardness, Tender-Mindedness).
Conscientiousness (Competence, Self-Discipline, Achievement-Striving, Order, Dutifulness, Deliberation).
